Predicting word accuracy for the automatic speech recognition of non-native speech
We have developed an automated method that predicts the word accuracy of a speech recognition system for non-native speech, in the context of speaking proficiency scoring. A model...

Dialog prediction for a general model of turn-taking
Today there are solutions for some specific turn-taking problems, but no general model. We show how turn-taking can be reduced to two more general problems, prediction and selecti...

Exploiting glottal formant parameters for glottal inverse filtering and parameterization
It is crucial for many methods of inverse filtering that the time domain information of the glottal source waveform is known, e.g. the location of the instant of glottal closure. ...

Accurate pitch marking for prosodic modification of speech segments
This paper describes a new approach to pitch marking. Unlike other approaches that use the same combination of features for the whole signal, we take into account the signal prope...

Validation of a training method for L2 continuous-speech segmentation
Recognising continuous speech in a second language is often unexpectedly difficult, as the operation of segmenting speech is so attuned to native-language structure. We report the...
